I went wandering off, but DH excitedly called me back. I was only able to get one of the pair of burrowing owls, and due to the light, the photos aren't as clear as I'd like, but I'm still happy to have 'em.
I really missed these guys. Some of my all time favorite birds. Used to see them all the time until the dogs pretty much wiped out the squirrel population. Noticed hearing a squirrel earlier this year from that location. Haven't heard it recently though. Burrowing owls take over unused squirrel holes and make them their own. Been over a decade since I've seen them living here!
Am I JAZZED? You have to ask?
One burrowing owl scoping out the possibilities before leaving for the nightly hunt.
Was using the flash, and you can see the reflection in it's eye.
